In The Little Lost Shopping Bag, Cherry and her mum have just returned from a shopping trip. Once they have finished putting away the groceries, Cherry asks her mum where she should put the plastic bag. Her mum tells her to put it in the rubbish bin, and that begins the adventures of the shopping bag.
The Little Lost Shopping Bag is a story written to help young children understand the importance of recycling plastic bags, and the effects they can have on the environment if not disposed of properly. When I was reading the story, I thought it had British accents (“mum” and “rubbish bin”) and was delighted to see that it was written in the UK. So, not only can the book be used to discuss recycling, but it can also be an opportunity to learn a little bit about another culture, assuming the reader is not from the UK.
The Little Lost Shopping Bag is an interesting book. The illustrations are delightful, and I especially enjoyed the little extras, like words in random places. This book is a little treasure trove that can be read/used in many ways. The story can promote great discussions as you encourage the child to use picture clues to see where the shopping bag might be next or have them find items in the pictures.
Young children will enjoy this book and its interesting illustrations. They will relate to Cherry wanting to help their parent put away groceries to get a treat. This would also make a great addition to the public library and school libraries to encourage the topic of recycling.
I am an avid book reader (book addict), I could literally spend all day reading and not get bored. I love learning new things through reading. *I prefer conservative books without profanity or explicit content.*
